Curly maple (Acer spp) grain forms when cells grow in a repeated spiral pattern rather than straight up and down. When the wood is split, it will look and feel like a washboard. If the wood is sanded to a flat surface, a cross-barred effect is produced by the changing angel of light reflection. Curly grain is not cultivated commercially, making it prized and sought after by many crafters.
Moss collected in Peterborough, NH. It was preserved using a technique involving denatured alcohol and vegetable glycerin. The moss and wood were bonded together using a heavy duty epoxy adhesive.
Metal Type: .925 Sterling Silver
